1/ In the coffee industry, a “single origin” label means the beans were sourced from a single geographic region.
This could mean the same country, region, producer, crop, farm, mill, or co-op.

2/ Contrast this with blends, which are mixes of multiple single-origin coffees.
3/ For Cadena, single origin means from the same country - Colombia, Ethiopia, Honduras, Nicaragua, Papua New Guinea, or Sumatra.
100% of the beans in each individual bag we package comes from the same farm or co-op.

4/ By tracing the beans’ source, the single origin movement recognizes the value of growers and processors in the coffee supply chain.
5/ Another benefit of single origin is that it highlights the connection between where the coffee was grown and its flavor profile.
6/ Single-origin beans are normally roasted lighter than blends.
This is designed to showcase the beans’ inherent flavors over the roast itself. A lighter roast teases out the coffee’s more subtle tastes and scents, resulting in a lighter bodied coffee.
